My wife is still a Virgin

Chapter 89 Leaving Calmly

Drrr...

Luke's cell phone trembled on the table, trying to wake up the owner who was still asleep in the dream cradle. Emma, who woke up first, took the phone carefully, checking the identity of the caller on the screen.

"Jeez, it's Grandma" Emma murmured. He then shook Luke's shoulders gently, trying to wake him up slowly. Emma could not bear to see Luke still very sleepy next to her, but, what could be done, the call from the grandmother seemed quite urgent.

"Dear, wakeup. Grandma was on the phone" Emma said in a soft voice. The day had already shown at 6pm, and they had promised to visit the grandmother in the hospital after dinner. There should still be enough time before the meeting of the three of them.

Luke awoke from his sleep with his eyes still closed. He felt the soft touch of Emma shaking him, and heard her soft voice calling out. Slowly, Luke opened his eyes and realized that he had to get up.

"Grandma called?" ask her with a voice that is still hoarse, as if still carried away by the dream cradle. She grabs the phone Emma has to offer, and sees the name "Grandmother" on her screen.

Emma nodded, confirming that the call was indeed from Luke's grandmother. Immediately, Luke raised the call.

"Hello?" greet Luke politely.

"Luke, come here early, there's something I'm going to talk about" said Madam Han Eun Sook in a slightly trembling voice.

"Grandma, is everything okay?" luke asked worriedly, because, it was not usual for his grandmother to be this tense. Usually they often quarrel, joke, and throw curses to melt the atmosphere. Now then? His grandmother's tone seemed serious and made Luke amazed.

"Come, boy! Don't ask too many questions!" the grandmother returned to her original tone.

Luke smiled faintly, then looked at Emma with an expression that asked her to get out of bed. Emma nodded in understanding, and immediately prepared.

"Let's wait, we'll be there in 30 minutes" Lukas said, then hung up.

......................

Luke and Emma are in the hospital, and it takes them only a few minutes to get to the VVIP room on the 5th floor, the top floor of the hospital is theirs.

"Grandma, we're coming" Emma said as they entered the grandmother's room.

Emma is surprised that there is an unknown person who is with Madame Han Eun Sook. He then lowered his head to greet her, and continued his steps to get to the side of the grandmother's bed.

"Mrs Liem?" ask Lukas who just arrived, because he had to see the nurse for a moment. Emma had left first, then, Luke followed.

"Hello, Lukas. Long time no see" said Mrs Liem softly. Luke smiled knotingly.

"This is Ryan Haritama's mother. TE-MANMU," said Lukas introduced the grandmother's guest, with a tone of dislike. He still remembers the incident at the hotel at that time, which made him have to lose trillions of money. However, if remembered, the incident was also the trigger for the improvement of Luke's relationship with Emma. He can also honestly reveal the problem of impotence experienced. So, technically, Ryan is also the savior of the relationship.

"Hhh..," Luke took a deep breath. Trying to forget the no. Ryan has vanished from them, too. Luke and Emma have never experienced any problems, after the misunderstandings created last time at the hotel. It's true, all just misunderstanding.

"Darling!"

Emma's call jolts Luke who is immersed in daydreaming. He felt surprised, then regained consciousness with the current situation.

"I'm Emma, nice to meet you" Emma said, hand-picking.

"I'm Liem. Your grandmother's friend" said Mrs Liem and accepted Emma's handwriting.

"Sit down" said the Grandmother, leaning on the headboard, assisted by the nurse who was there.

Madame Han Eun Sook begins her confession, listened to by two other people who are currently the most important people in their lives.

"I have sinned against you, Luke, my grandson. Forgive me," Madame Han said with tears streaming slowly.

DEG!

Luke flinched, looking at his grandmother with a look of pity.

"Grandmother..," she called slowly.

Luke approached, and held his two weakened hands. Fine wrinkles have been seen, with veins protruding around the back of the grandmother's hand. Luke gently stroked his grandmother's hand, conveying his feelings that did not concern himself with anything related to the past.

"Alright, Grandma. It doesn't need to be like this" Lukas said as if preventing his grandmother from bringing up their dark past. For Luke, the current relationship was already quite happy for them. Let the shadow of the past be left alone, without needing to be revealed again its existence.

"No. I have to discuss it with you, so that my departure can be quiet," the grandmother said, rejecting Luke's attempt to stop the conversation.

After years of living with remorse and guilt, she felt it was the right time to ask for forgiveness from her grandson, Luke.

"I used to make a terrible mistake with you, Luke. I threw away your mother, and you. I know my actions are very wrong and cruel. I feel very sorry and, finally, now, I beg for your forgiveness, my Grandchild," Madame Han said in a soft voice, it was as if those words were the last words he wanted to express before his death.

Tears streamed down Luke's cheeks as he pondered on his grandmother's words. Something deep within him began to split, between vengeance and compassion. Luke forgave his grandmother in speech. However, deep in his heart, the embers of the vengeful flames did not extinguish. He remains lit, although not as good as in the beginning Luke met his grandmother.

In a soft, warm voice, Luke finally replied in a quite trembling voice, "Ne.nek, I have long harbored pain and hatred in my heart. But I am trying to forgive you. Although difficult. I forgive you, Grandma. I forgive you."

Hearing those words, Madam Han smiled weakly. His hands stretched out, stroking a little of the grandson's hair that seemed to dangle from behind his ears. The burden that had been borne by him, as if it was starting to lift little by little.

"Thank you, Luke," said the grandmother, accompanied by a warm embrace.

Emma and Lady Liem, who were moved, embraced her, as if, magically called to do the same.

Madame Han Eun Sook did not expect that in her final moments, she finally managed to find the peace and forgiveness she had been looking for. The presence of Luke, Emma, and Lady Liem, gives him tremendous power. The four of them hugged each other tightly, feeling the warmth and love that filled their hearts.

"Hhhh.... Hhhh..."

All of a sudden, Madam Han's breathing grew weaker.

BRUK!

Without even getting any emergency help, Madam Han closed her eyes peacefully, all of a sudden. Leaving Luke, Emma and Lady Liem were in a state of great shock and panic.

"Ne.. Grandma??!!!"
